Personal History		It is in Damon's blood to be enrolled in Starfleet. Every generation in his family line has seen at least one person taking the oath. Both of Damon's parents, Christopher and Allison, served aboard an aging Miranda class Starship. Due to the uncertainty of their commissions they left their twin children, Damon and Alexandra, to live with their Uncle in Toronto Canada. Tragedy struck when the children were still young that their parents had been killed in action after their ship had been attacked by some unknown force. After news of their parents death's the two quickly learned to support each other through whatever life threw at them, often picking up where the other was lacking. They had talked often about one day joining Starfleet themselves to honor their parents memory. Once they were both of age they each enrolled in different aspects of Starfleet. Alexandra enrolled in Starfleet Medical so Damon decided to fill in the more aggressive role of Marine to, as he said, "balance things out". Damon took to training extremely well often "adopting" classmates in order to strengthen them in areas where they were falling short. This proved to be an asset as the Dominion War broke out just after Damon's first year in the SFMC. They were rushed out of basic as the need for Marines grew dramatically, the brass told them that they would be "field trained". This motivated Damon to truly excel as it became a "do or die" situation. He was involved in a number of boarder region conflicts and proved himself to be a capable leader being noted for his ability to efficiently command his fire team in extraordinarily stressful conditions. He always managed to keep his cool and think logically when situations had significantly deteriorated. With this experience behind him he led his squad in several successful raids against Dominion sensor outposts which would later become part a key network to blind the Dominion on task force movements. He was promoted to Master Sergeant shortly after for his role in the fighting. After the Dominion war Damon served on a number of grounded assignments as part of the peacekeeping efforts on troubled planets. Cardasia Prime was where his longest tour took place. The Marines were stationed there to help with a still hostile population and daily had to deal with riots and extremely high crime rate. This tour hardened Damon to the job that was expected of him, however, he never lost his sense of humor or his belief in what the SFMC was trying to accomplish. While Damon was content to stay as an enlisted marine he felt he could save more marines lives if he were in a position to take charge. With this in mind he began taking university courses in whatever spare time could be afforded. Within a few years he graduated with a degree in sociology. His commission followed shortly after his graduation.
